VERSE:
D# Fm G#
Daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
D# C#
And every day he would make what troubled momma's mind
Fm G#
Numbers were rising the shafts were falling in
D# C# C#
We prayed to God that we would see my daddy again
Fm G#
Winter came to Krueger's and shut down for repair
D# C#
While the suit and ties that owned us wouldn't stop the mine affairs
Fm G#
They promised the return of all the work the best they could
D# C# C#
On a foggy mountain morning daddy went to work for good
CHORUS:
D# Fm
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
C# G# G#
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
C# D# G# Fm
A# dollar for the company a penny for his time
C# D# Fm
As he worked his life away down in the mines
INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
Fm G#
Covered in his coat of coal his skin black as night
D# C#
Not enough air to breathe a struggle for his life
Fm G#
It's been seven lonely years since we've heard that whistle blow
D# C# C#
Waiting for my pa to dig out all of West Virginia coal
Fm G#
The people of the town all moved away to better things
D# C#
But momma kept our family here to chase for daddy's dream
Fm G#
Now we stand around his grave with just an empty hope
D# C# C#
Just like the miner buried here in these West Virginia coal
CHORUS:
D# Fm
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
C# G# G#
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
C# D# G# Fm
And a dollar for the company a penny for his time
C# D# Fm
As he worked his life away down in the mines
